Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large fennel bulbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the fennel bulbs by cutting off the stalks at the base and removing any tough outer layers or fronds. Cut each bulb in half lengthwise, and then slice each half into 1/2 inch thick wedges.
Place the sliced fennel in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Gently toss the fennel until evenly coated with oil and seasonings, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
Spread the fennel wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme over the fennel slices.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the fennel is tender and caramelized on the edges, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Transfer the fennel to a serving platter and enjoy as a Paleo-friendly side dish!
